Competition with houses that sell hv mail is often a problem which the merchants' association in smaller towns and cities seek to solve. System recently asked a number of represen1 'ative associations wtrat they belive is the best way to handle thi3 ploblem. Five typical replies are given in the following paragraphs. (1) "We believe that real service, a willingness to exchange articles not satisfactory to the purchaser, excellent catalog descriptions of the mer| chandise and?to some extent?price I reductions, hav? made mail order j houses successful; and we believe that ! when the local merchant learns How to ' make real salesmen of his clerks, when ; he himself learns what real service | means and knows how to control his i own business, the mail order business in this state will begin to decline." 1 (2) "One of our main objects in j organizing is to hold business at home } and place a price on merchandise that will give a saving to the mail order 'customer. We are planning a monthly house organ, to be issued to the farmers in our 'buying community. j naming articles that can he oougni here at mail order prices, with a mer! chant's guarantee back of them." | How Some Merchants are Fighting Ontside Competition. I (3) "We cooperate as far as we can to keep trad-e from going to mall orj der houses and nearby cities by promoting the 'Buy in Freeport' idea. In . this connection, let me say that I think I the solution of the buy-at-horoe probj lem is largely up to the home meri chants. The smaller merchants in a : city like this are perhaps too prone : to condemn buying 6way from the city without taking active steps to rea lize tnat tney must aaopi progressive methods of doing business; and that they must give service and goods which will persuade people they can buy at home as well as or better than they ; can plsewhere. When the merchants M peopl? know more about their (brr;iness through advertising, and ; v^en they po after business with J something of the progressive methods j their successful competitors use, then ! they will solve to a certain extent J i the buy-at-home problem. There are 1 some merchants, of course, who do this, and they are not the ones who "j complain most about the mail order! j houses and people going to other cities. C4) "Pav no attention to mail or;der competition, is our advice. We j urge members to make their goods j worth buying, and their store service ; inviting. We believe that ' personal cmitact and s-eins: before paying will business, if other conditions sre attractive. "A'e advise pursuing the same policy with regard to energy cities. Our retail stores draw trade from forty-nearby cities, and this ! trarlp ic pro-wine- lareer everv vear. (5) "We have found thaf the less j that is said about irfail order houses, the better for the merchants in the town. An active campaign against them will create new business for thp mail order houses instead of for us." i ) HEED THE WARXIXG j Edgefield Advertiser. However unwelcome a visitor Mr. B.

An Alabama i man has accomplished this on a sman plot, according to the old and reliable agricultural journal, The Countr> Gentleman, which says, editorially: Down in Alabama lives Sam McCall, eighty-one years old, who for more than thirty years has made a living for himself and family from two acres of land. It was poor land when he began with it. But he found lie couid make his land rich and grow. | MUL y We have a mules at Pom; see us before bi J.

Mrs. Jarnagin, an aged lady of Greenville, was walking aiong a street in the suburbs of Jreenville last Sunday night, on her way home from church, and was run down by an automobile and killed. It was stated that the automobile, which was running at a high rate of speed, did aot stop after striking the lady, although she was dragged for some distance. The machine disappeared in the darkness before the occupants could be identified, and so far there is no clut eTs to their identity. It is to be assumed that the Greenville officers will put forth every effort to apprehend the people who were in the machine. This was a clear case of murder, if there ever was one. Reckless driving such as was displayed in this case amounted tc malice, and when a peron is kill ed mrougn mance 11 is muraer. C. W.
